      Can you explain this behavior?

      No, I cannot explain this, but I noticed it too.
      No video over the VNC connection.

      When I google, I see this recommendation:

      Open VNC Server>Options>Troubleshooting. Then make sure "enable experimental direct capture mode is checked.

      You might give it a try.

          @evroom now, enabling in VNC options “direct capture mode”, also from VNC I see the stream on omxplayer and on MM.

          Many Thanks! 👍

            I’m going from a working Raspi3 to a Raspi4 and using the exact same working module configuration I cannot get video on omxplayer using this module.

            I set up a pristine image and loaded everything one at a time, but this one fails. I pulled out all of the modules to make sure there was nothing in them that was causing the issue.

            Below is my module config and my logs pulled using pm2 logs mm. There is an error, but I don’t know enough about this to determine the cause. Can anyone review the logs and provide some direction?

            Thanks.

              Getting closer. Hoping to get some help based on the new info below.

              I was able to get a video stream, but…

              It only works in the middle_center position and the video orientation is rotated 90 deg.

              I tried using the rotateDegree switch, and it does rotate it, but the video frame stays in the portriat oreintation.

              Video Oreintation

              I am using the below config file.

              	modules: [
              		{
              			module: "alert",
              		},

                In

                /home/pi/MagicMirror/css/custom.css
                

                add

                .MMM-RTSPStream .innerWrapper {
                  border-style: none;
                }
                

                to remove the frame altogether.
                Or find a way using css to rotate the frame.

                I tried the positions top_left, top_right, bottom_left and bottom_right.
                All work.
                It can be that your other modules are pushing it down.
                Try to have the module positioned a bit earlier in your config.

                  @shbatm Do you think it could be possible to run this on another plateform, like pine64 with armbian where omxplayer is not available?

                  The npm install part is not working as omxplayer is not available…

                    Has anyone had success getting this module to work with Lorex security cameras? The is the only module preventing my magic mirror being “complete”

                      1st, have you tried the URL string at https://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=Lorex ?

                      2nd, have you verified that the video player you want is able to run the video stream?

                      The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"
